FINALLY, here are my Tasting Box comparisons! The Foodzie Box vs. the "Drewzie box" (the box that my friend Drew gave me). Drew went to Wegmans and spent 20-hard-earned-dollars on me just to prove a point :) So, who won? Let's see.

Parisian Mendiants - These are small disks of chocolate with candied orange, hazelnuts and pistachios. These look very pretty and were tasty, too!

Almond chocolate Trail Bar - AMAZING. It was also perfect fuel for a run! It contained rolled oats, almonds, nutty rice, flax seeds, coconut and chocolate. And there was no skimping on the chocolate. Unfortunately, if I wanted to buy them online they are $50 FOR 18 BARS. $50!!!!!!

Cabernet Brownies - These were made with wine flour - isn't that cool? OMG they were sooo good and fudgy.

Verdict:
So who do I think was the winner? Welll......AND YOU WILL HATE ME FOR THIS: BOTH!!!!

OK, here is why. The Drewzie Box wins because I bought more of the items for myself - so it did super well on New Customer Acquisition (I have friends in the business world who told me that phrase hahaha). I've now had THREE Foodzie boxes, and never once did I ever feel the need to go online and buy the full-size products from Foodzie.

But the Foodzie Tasting Box wins on originality. It has definitely opened up my taste buds to things I had never tried before (Coconut milk caramels! Kale chips! Brownies made with wine flour!), even if I didn't end up liking them (Kale chips!) I think that $20 towards a fun surprise bag of treats is worth it. I don't have a yearly subscription though, I think it will be a once in a while treat.

So there you have it! :) Do you think I took the easy way out? :)

Disclaimer - The February food box was sent to me for free by Foodzie, but I purchased the box for January and March. Drewzie's box was also free!
